The Springfield Armory Enhanced Micro Pistol (EMP) is a handgun based on the classic M1911 design. It is manufactured by Springfield Armory Inc.. Whereas the M1911 uses the large .45 ACP cartridge the EMP uses short 9x19mm Parabellum and 40 S&W cartridges and has been reengineered to make it smaller and lighter than its parent firearm and is marketed as a short-action 1911.
